Windows XP to use Wizards Bluetooth - General Topics

Hi, I'm wondering if any of you know a program that will let me use my phones bluetooth as if it was a bluetooth dongle for my windows box?
Kinda like that storage card program.

1, welcome to xda-dev
2, nope, unfortunately, there is no such app.

Ah well, didn't think there would be, but worth asking, will just have to grab a cheap bluetooth dongle sometime

It looks good. The most intresting thing is that it supports different hardware. So it's a very big chance that it will work on Magician. And the usb support as I understood means that it works with PDA with USB host and BT dongle.
It will be very nice to test it, but is the anybody knows where to download this driver?
The USB support means it's a step closer to us using it on our magicians, as our bluetooth chip goes through the internal USB control rather than serial.
I believe Bluesoleil stack used USB as well... so I guess this new version will work on the magician...
it would be great if it is possible to install it into the Storage not RAM...
anyway... we'll see what would happen later
Can any one upload 1000-wce
I looked to much for that stack but there is no hope
please if any one has that stack please uploasd it
thanks
RE
May be HP iPAQ hx4700 might have it
:roll:

thanks

TV out on pure.

Greetings,
Can anyone confirm if the AC T110/100 actually works for TV out or not. I've seen lots of conflicting theories in my thread searches, but nobody specified if they have actually tried this cable. (Sorry if I missed the post, I did look quite a bit)
Heres what I know:
I started by sending a helpdesk request to HTC support, but got no reply at all. According to AT&T's website:
(http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/HTC-PURE/index.jsp) under the Features Tab it states:
"HTC ExtUSB™—11 pin mini USB 2.0, audio jack, and TV Out in one (HTC TV Out cable sold separately)"
******************
I figured I'd try to slap something together on my own, so I tried a few things.
Before I did anything, I enabled the tv out in the registry.
HKLM/software/HTC/TVOut/Function=1
I then tried to run the Nue Tv out app:
( http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueTVOut.aspx )
The .exe installer did not work. I found a slightly older cab that did install. The nue app requires you to use the audio dongle that comes with the phone and a "Ipod or camcorder" 1/8 to rca out plugged into the dongle's audio out. The pinout for Ipod and camcorder video is different so I couldn't imagine they would both work. After installing, I can confirm that neither works (at least with the only installable version). I have seen posts of people getting this working with the generic topaz running wm6.1, so I'm at a bit of a loss. My next step was to buy one of the official cables, but I'm wondering if anyone's tried this yet.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any insight into this.

I am not sure it is supported, it seems AT&T being the world class customer oriented institution they are just badly copied the HTC "Fuze" specs (http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/HTC-FUZE/index.jsp) and added/removed this and that.
From what I understand, the regkey *IS* there, but this is simply because Windows Mobile 6.x supports TV out, and is even on other phones.
The hardware on the "Pure" / Topaz does not support TV-Out as the Graphics card in the phone is a different release to the "Fuze" / HD / Pro phones.

Thanks Pneuma, makes sense, I didn't do much homework on the hardware itself, just assumed it'd be the same chipset.

PS3 DVD Controller?

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to essentially "copy" the functions of a PS3 DVD remote (which I'm assuming, possibly rather naively, is bluetooth) on a winmo device - preferably the HD2 (or my old Diamond).
I'd do one myself, but I have absolutely NO idea how to!

th
u tested out link?? does it work?
It doesn't work with HD2 BT stack.
Sadly, it doesn't work with the hd2 as it only supports ms bt stack while the hd2 packs a broadcom one...
good job i didnt buy it then lol , any other program that works as this would be a cool app
I would have looked into that link a bit more in depth if my HD2 had arrived by now! Next day delivery my arse.
Still, as you say Dan, would be a very cool app...

Keyboard

Has anyone managed to pair a bluetooth keyboard with their phone yet?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I've yet to get my hands on one to try. I've just ordered a zeemote for a laugh, here's hoping they sort out the bluetooth drivers soon
i'll need to find a BT keyboard before i can test this out, i want to find out too
I unsuccessfully tried pairing my Logitech DiNovo mini to my SGS.
I can pair my iGo ultraslim, but won't do anything beyond that... No HID bluetooth profile support sadly, there is SPP bluetooth profile support so some peripherals will work (I think the Freedom BT keyboard should work).
Bump, I am really having a headache as I sold my HD2 - I cant pair my SU-8W nokia bluetooth keyboard with my i9000 - which used to work with my N95 and my HD2 (sold grrr)
I really need a fix for this if anyone can advise
Blueinput crashes when I load it, which is meant to give support for these keyboards.
Wont even start just errors out.
I installed Keypro but this doesnt seem to do anything on the galaxy either....
THanks all!
You're probably stuck until the cyanogenmod team releases their ROM for the Galaxy S, which should have HID bluetooth profile support...
exactly, it's not really a problem
what you really need is a Driver that supports the Human Interface Driver (HID)
appears that it's not build in on Android 2.1

[Q] Motorola Xoom for studies? no, yes?

Hello
I just orderd a Motorola Xoom 32GB 3G for 220€ and I was wondering if Motorola Xoom will work fine to complement for studies in example universety? What app's is then required that works fine for Xoom+studies? I understand that the Ipad is superior when it comes to handy apps for studies is there something likely for Xoom or should I cancel the order? Does any bluetooth keyboard+mouse work or is it only a few?
Let me hear your thoughts..
The Motorola BT keyboard and mouse work great, and I know that a number of others also do. There are lots of writing/note taking apps as well as apps that allow you to read and mark-up pdfs, etc.
It has a good wifi connection ability, and is very portable, as you know. You should update it to ICS as soon as possible.
a favorite or two
just quick... i am not currently a student but i am a teacher. i use Springpad a lot to take notes on projects and meetings and such. it is an essential for me. after that the essentials are thumbpad and an office program. I just saw a thread that looked like it would review the office apps. the only reason the ipad. is better is it got to the market first, it isn't actually better.

Is there any apps that is compatible with microsoft's word? If I for instance write something on my Xoom and then want to edit it with Microsoft Word, is that possible?
Do any keyboard/mouse with bluetooth or USB work with Xoom?

I'm using the Bluetooth Keyboard case and love it along with the logitech bluetooth mouse. But any bluetooth mouse will work.
And there are various programs you can use to do that. I like Quickoffice Pro personally.

Is Quickoffice Pro compatible with Microsoft's Word? If so then I dont thing i'll never find a greater laptop/netbook for the price of this Xoom with dualcore, camera etc.
Also is it neccesary to be a wirless bluetooth keyboard? regular wirless keyboard with usb-stick that goes in the usb-port in pc for example doesn't work in xoom?
Radio (RF) does it work with xoom?

Yeah Quickoffice pro is compatible, the only issue is that you might have to go back to word to do some final formatting (like the headers and such). Other than that it works great. I have all my schoolwork synced with Dropbox so I can edit it on the go with Quickoffice. It has built in support for Dropbox.
If you want to use a usb device you're going to have to order an micro-usb to usb OTG adapter. It doesn't have a full size usb port, which I'm sure you know.
I do not believe that radio works on the xoom...
My Xoom is great for what I do at school. I've had it for a semester so far, and I must say it's fantastic to just have to carry this around rather than a backpack full of stuff. With the Kindle app I can download most of my textbooks, and you can highlight and bookmark pages right in the app. Plus with the apps that support office documents (QuickOffice, DocumentstoGo, ThinkFree, and others) you can edit and even print (with compatible printers) papers and stuff. It's a great tool. I plan on buying a logitech keyboard/stand for mine for when I go back to school, that way it's easier to take notes in class.

Are you sure that RF radio wirless keyboard's and mouse doesn't work? I thought i read somewhere it did but u need to use an otg cable
I use my Xoom to read .pdf's all the times, and use Internet when class is boring! but just for it, I hate "typing" in Xoom, so I use notepads yet!

All of the full office suite will allow that but I recommend Office Suite Pro. It has the most compatibility and the most features, IMHO.
I always had typing lag issues with that one, which annoyed the hell out of me

ICS has eliminated any typing lag, for me and from all reports, from just about everyone.

I'll be able to test this soon. I've ordered an OTG cable from Amazon that should be here any day. I also have a couple of wireless devices so I'll let you know when I get it in.
One thing to be aware of is the increasing amount of homework that is done online now. You need very specific OS/software requirements to be able to do these online assignments. If the only computer you have is a xoom you will have to borrow a roommates PC or use a computer lab to do all your homework. Depending on your major there may also be software tools that you can only use on a PC. So just be prepared for that.

I currently use my Xoom for all of my online homework. The only issue it's given me is no keyboard pops up when in flash based content. But other than that it had been compatible with everything so far.
I do see where you're coming from as far as actual software goes. Just wanted to give a heads up saying that it works well for everything else.

I wasn't as fortunate. Every online homework program was different so I think it just comes down to luck. One application required me to open specific ports for communication, another only ran in explorer, ect. Just a real PITA. But like I said there is always a computer lab or a roommate where you can find a PC if you need one. If you live on campus its not an issue to get to a computer lab. I always lived off campus and did homework late at night after lab hours so I had a netbook that was portable and had 9 hours of battery, plus guaranteed compatibility with any required program. I was taking mostly science courses and document collaboration was necessary so using a tablet to make edits to a document would have been doable but not ideal. PowerPoint presentation would have been impossible on a tablet given the complex nature of the presentations. Like I say you just have to evaluate your specific needs.
I use my Xoom for graduate school class to take notes and for presentations at work. A cheap laptop is sometimes a better deal. I bought mine at launch and for that price it was a waste of money but if you can get one for less than 250 USD, it isn't a bad deal for that use.
Even with Office Suite Pro (I've also tried all the others,) the office like apps are lacking. You still need the desktop version of Word to do real work with it. It still loses some page formatting and references aren't robust enough yet. OneNote just doesn't seem to be happening. There is a program out there that sort of does it but we really need the attention that Microsoft gave iOS for the iPhone and iPad versions. The office emulators are worth waiting until Amazon is offering them for free. The development teams should charge more for the apps but integrate more features. It's cheap now, but it's hard to justify $10 when you have to go to the desktop anyway. You could have saved your money, used a free text editor and put the document on a desktop to finalize. Editing office docs is convenient but you still run the risk of losing things.
It still isn't that good for PowerPoint presentations. If you convert your slide show to PDF you get along a little better. The Xoom's screen is a lot nicer than what you'll be getting out of most projectors so you have to be careful. Plugging in through HDMI will not save it. This isn't the fault of the Xoom it's just what happens when you use cheap projectors. It's just more noticeable when you have nice visuals in your hands yet on the big screen it's a washed out mess for hundreds of people to see.
Just remember that this is a cheap stop gap measure until the technology catches up. If lightweight mobility in a device that you can use to organize your teaching work is the biggest priority, this isn't a bad option but if you really need the features and not a toy, you're better off with a cheap HP laptop. It can do everything you need even though it's a boat anchor.

Thanks for your reply's guys. I wont start university untill after the summer, hopefully I then will begin law school, if I am lucky I have a chance to go to an universety near my home and then having avablity of a PC will not be a problem.
I bought the Xoom for 325$ with motorolas dock, otg cable and folder case. It is the 32GB with 3G. Do you think that the apps for tablets will expand and we can have similar good apps like ipads?
